I think it would be great. Even with the game used forum have a classified and wanted section so guys can buy and sell there stuff. The problem with Game Used Universe website there classified section is limited to selling up to 500.00 which I could never understand and questioned them about it and eventually my post was removed and never got a straight answer. With the prices of GU stuff it's hard to sell anything for under 500.00. Just think of the high end items guys would want to sell they can't over there so collectors are missing out on some nice high end items and have to resort to Ebay or auction houses with there 20% BP. Just a thought.

GUU has been dieing a slow death ever since the braintrust chased away many knowledgeable members. Some of those members deserved to go, but not the members who brought a lot to the table.

I think it would be great if you could attract those old GUU knowledgeable members. I would also like to see the content limited to 1980 or before. The game used stuff from the last twenty years is so readily avialable and easy to get that it's not very collectable.

A gu area is fine and dandy, but just remember that gu topics can be more contentious than autographs.

Is that possible?

I think 1980-85 would be a good cutoff. Definitely don't want to look at a ton of modern day jerseys and especially bats.

As long as it's moderated. Tons of fakes out there and the threads do get very ugly.

Ok. Sure. I just went to GUU after the previous thread and it's down again!

Don't worry. Leon said that Net54 is investing in a fire hose in case any of the threads get too out of hand.

Actually, much of the fire and heat in the gu discussions is due to the topics often being about fakes and forgeries being offered by outside auction houses and dealers. I think the GUU posters themselves are generally quite reasonable and even keel. I think there are more characters in the Net54 autograph forum
